1st Edition
by Mark Bittman (Author), David Katz (Author)
Bestselling author Mark Bittman and physician David Katz cut through
all the noise on food, health, and diet to give you the real answers you
need
What is the “best” diet? Do calories matter? And
when it comes to protein, fat, and carbs, which ones are good and which
are bad? Mark Bittman and health expert David Katz answer all these
questions and more in a lively and easy-to-read Q&A format. Inspired
by their viral hit article on Grub Street—one of New York
magazine’s most popular and most-shared articles—Bittman and Katz share
their clear, no-nonsense perspective on food and diet, answering
questions covering everything from basic nutrients to superfoods to fad
diets. Topics include dietary patterns (Just what should humans
eat?); grains (Aren’t these just “carbs”? Do I need to avoid gluten?);
meat and dairy (Does grass-fed matter?); alcohol (Is drinking wine
actually good for me?); and more. Throughout, Bittman and Katz filter
the science of diet and nutrition through a lens of common sense,
delivering straightforward advice with a healthy dose of wit.
